Santa Fe, N.M. - The birth of modern music is a story forgotten in time but, Director Bernard MacMahon and Producer, Allison McGourty capture it in, American Epic: Out Of the Many the One. The documentary follows the trail of the phonograph, across rural America as it ushers in the development of blues, country, gospel, Hawaiian, Cajun and folk music - without which there would be no rock, pop, R&B or hip hop today.

Narrated by Robert Redford who described the film as, "...America's greatest untold story," Out Of the One the Many is sure to be a favorite at this year's Santa Fe Film Festival. Catch it this Friday, December 9, at 1 pm at the Center for Contemporary Arts. In-depth Q&A with the film's Director, Bernard McMahon and Producer, Allison McGourty following the screening.
